I am running a list page that will show the thumbs of pictures for each staff. Then a full size on the page view.
The problem is that although it seems to be working the way I want .... the thumbnails are not showing.
PHP page:
http://www.efreewillmar.org/faculty.php
Creating from:
http://www.efreewillmar.org/faculty.html
Shouldn't this be working to show the thumbs
I have the uploaded pictures set to create a 75px width thumbnail and to resize anything over 800 px wide or high.
Could the resizing setting be affecting the thumbnail setting?
Thanks in advance,

Make sure you have a max width -and- height set for all the thumbnail and upload field settings or it won't create a thumbnail.
Try changing that and then uploading another image. If that still doesn't work feel free to email me CMS and FTP login details to dave@interactivetools.com and I can take a look (email, don't post login details).
The code looks correct.
Hope that helps!

OK that is probably the problem. The dimension for the thumbnail is only set to 75px for one value
Now what do the resize values do ... I understood them to say that if a given image is uploaded and are bigger than the stated values then resize the image. Is that resized image a thumbnail or does it resize to the resize values?
What happens if the uploaded image has a different proportion than the values set for the thumbnail?
Say the values are set for 10 X 20 and the image uploaded is 30 X 25 ... if it will maintain the perspective then is something cropped?

You can think of the thumbnail size as "maximum size limits". So the image proportion will always be the same and it won't be cropped. It will just be smaller. The thumbnail will always fit inside the max size limit specified.
So if you have an image that is 100w x 500h and your thumbnail max limits are 50w x 50h then the image would be resized to 10w x 50h. Since that's the biggest the thumbnail can be while still keepings it's proportion and fitting in the max size limits.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you need any more details.

Ok great but what exactly does Resize images over ?px do ... I see that the thumbnail settings set what the thumbnail will be but is resize setting below it meant for when to resize the image?

Say you want full size images on your site to be no larger than 640x480. A user who is not familiar with image size may upload a photo from their camera that is 2048x2048, larger than could be displayed on a regular screen. The "Resize images larger than" option will resize those "oversized" images.
Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you need more details.
